How Empath Are YOU?

Are you an EMPATH?

Are you extremely sensitive, have mood shifts around certain people, are you in tune with others, do you give too much?  These are just a few characteristics that might identify you as an empath.  It is so important that empaths protect their energy.  The first step is identifying that you are an empath.  For me, it took some time and much agony and second-guessing of myself.  But once I learned I was an empath.  I started to learn how to put things into place that would protect me. 

One area is identifying

What types of energy would affect my mood?  When meeting negative energy or individuals I would become irritated around these individuals.  I used to wonder why am I so exhausted or bothered.  I used to think am I a mean person? or think I was not a people person.  But that’s not iiiiiiiit!!! Empaths are drained by such negative energy. 

Listen to your gut EMPATH

This will help you to avoid Energy Zappers!!!!  Our sensitivity makes us vulnerable to these types of individuals.  Narcissists are the ones we need to remove or stay away from.  They are those that “crave admiration” they lack empathy!!! 2. The Victim they are in a constant state of woe is me. 

Protection is KEY  

1.  Identify your energy zappers

2. Set Limits/Boundaries

3. Meditation and Centering- Just learned how important (game changer)      

4.  Communicate your needs

5. Alone Time

I know for me identifying my triggers was key in setting me on a path to empower my empathetic self.  One key area was identifying inauthentic individuals/fake conversations.  Once I realized these types of people/situations would make me irritable and drained, (not me). I learned that it is not me but rather their lack of empathy which does not support a healthy relationship with them or myself. 

I did not like how I was responding or did not even realize why I was becoming a negative person (taking on their energy). Learning how to care for myself and have empathy for myself has been key in transforming my life.  Try it you will love it.  Let me know how you feel once you start to protect your energy!!! 😊
